Scene of Unexpected Joy

Teacher's Write

Monday Morning Warm-up:
Write a scene that depicts your main character experiencing a moment of unexpected joy, without using the words above. How do you capture that true, inner feeling of blissful surprise? How can you show your reader your character's pure happiness without explicitly telling us how he or she is feeling? Try it! And enJOY! :) And if you want to, please share!

****************
Here is my write from the above prompt:

Think of the sound you make when the hero finally kisses the girl, and the audience sighs. Think of the sound
of a baby’s first cooing. Think of the sound of the ocean when the sun is setting over the horizon; and the
sound of the first days of fall. Think of the sounds of your own heart beating and your feet pounding with
your heart when you are running. Think of the time when your family is singing Happy Birthday to you and
then the moment they stop and the whooshing sound you make when you blow out the candles.
Then put all those together.
And they would be nothing compared to the sound Samena made when she opened the door to see Claire
sitting in her living room.
